Real- Iy, I should almost be afraid it cars | ried disease germs, it is so terribly | sotled.” Cousin Agatha advanced toward me, her outstretched hand gingerly hold- ing a letter whose appearance justi fied her criticism. It was the cheap- est possible sort of envelope, and it looked as if it had been carefully rubbed in dust to get it as dirty as possible. 1 flushed resentfully, as I generally do at Cousin Agatha’s remarks. Hor tone intimated that I must have some extremely undesirable acquaintances somewhere. But although I had no possible idea as to the sender of the detter, my pride wouldn’t allow me to gratify her petty malice by telling her so. She would have taken it as a bit of deference on my part to her opinion. Therefore I slipped it into the pocket of my sweater without a second glance, and went on with the bit of mending I had in my hands until I had a chance to slip away to my room. I didn’t stop to analyze the instinct that made me turn the key in the | lock and lean against the door, | breathing heavily as if I had been | running hard. Instinctively I felt that within the greasy, dirty envelope in my pocket was some message of evil for me. I took it out and looked at the su- perscription carefully. j Mrs. Richard Graham, Chase avenue, I Marvin, L. L. Chase avenue! Then it was from someone who knew that we had moved recently. The postmark was Hoboken, and I ransacked my mem- ory to see if I could find any recol- lection of any person from there, but By ADELE GARRISGN i might live in a village of Long Islana OF A WIFE son rather unused to writing, and the characters were rather shakily made. T looked more closely and decided that a child’s hand had addressed the en- velope. More puzzled than ever, I slowly slit the envelope and drew out the enclosure.

There was no name or initial on the clipping, but the words of the head- line were underlined in red ink, and there was a wavy line of red ink drawn around the entire margin of the clipping. i Cousin Agatha Comments. I read the thing through, and then turned it over and over in my hands, minutely examining it for a trace that might suggest the identity of the | sender, but to no avail. It might have dropped from the clouds for any evi- dence it betrayed of the hand that had started it on its mission. - 1 was thoroughly puzzled, and al- though I tried to depy it to myself a bit frightened by this newspaper clip- ping sent in so strange a manner. I tried to reassure myself with the.ar- gument that perhaps the man spoRen of in the dispatch was known to some other Mrs. Richard Graham, who Tt wa I with a name similar to Marvin. But I knew, even as it flashed into my mind, that it was a most far- fetched, well-nigh Impossible ex- to no avail. Of course the sensible procedure would have been to open the envelope at once and find’ out what the letter contained, but an in- definable reluctance made me post- pone the opening as long as possible.

Or do they 100k upon clothes as some. thing required by law and the cli- mate and not worth spending any thought upon? When one sees a man who seems to have considered the question ot | becomingness in picking out clothes he stands out so distinctly from the rest, that I #uspect the latter is the case. 1 know that some of my masculine readers are backing away from the | very idea of picking out rclothes to become them. They are stigmatizing it as foppish and unmasculine. Not Against Nature. 1 don’t think that it is necessarily so, by any means. Nor against nature. bird remember, has plumage, Of course T should not like to see a man who put so much stress on clothes that he neglected his business for them, or starve himself for the sake of fine things to wear. But I do not see why an intelligent selection of those clothes which by their color and fit bring out his best points and his worst, is anything a man should be ashamed of.

In “His Picture in the Papers”, Fairbanks, as the son of Phineas Protein, the man- ufacturer of Protein’s Protoid Prod- ucts, is told by his father that if he ever expects to inherit the family bus- iness, it is up to him to do something to advertise the business. Thereafter, Doug bends every effort towards get- ting his picture in the papers, and what looks at first like a snap, de- velops into a task that demands eveéry bit of athletic antics and comedy stunts that this lively young stunt- master is capable of. On the same big program will be shown “The Man Trap”, which is the title of the eighth episode of “The Seven Pearls”, in which Mollie King and Creighton Hale have been making themselves famous for the last several weeks.

CAPRICE-FAIRBANKS AT FOX’S THEATER A great big, double-feature show is scheduled for Fox's today and tomor> row, and it would be difficult to imag- ine a happier selection of stars than the combination that will be featured on the twin program. June Caprice, that lovable little girl with the sunny smile comes in her new Fox success, a picture full of thrills and ginger, “Miss U. S. A.”, and Douglas Fair- banks, of whom no description is nec- essary, makes his appearance in what he himself claims to be the funnlest picture that he ever made, “His Plc- ture in the Papers.” “Miss U. S. A, is an exciting story of German spies, love interest, and plenty of stirring action. Miss Caprice, as Capitola, faces death twice. She battles hard for her life while ferreting out the sples, and is saved by a young volun- teer soldier who comes to her assist- ance In the nick of time. The scéne is laid In Virginia at the time that the United States declared war on Ger- many.

Douglas tells confidentially that therc is something good in store for his friends who see this picture. Tn it he has hundreds of opportunities for put- ting over his own unique comedy, and besldes, he plays the major part in one of the most virile plots ever fea- tured on the screen. ' “The Man From Painted Post” was written by Fairbanks himself, and he wrote it with the intimate knowledge of what the public wants. This is without a doubt his best offering, completely overshadowing all previ- ous endeavors and once agaln proving the truth of the adage that ‘“wine grows better with ag Fairbanks in his initial attempt as author com- bines with it his natural horn ability as an actor, htus giving the public a treat that is worth the wait.

Men adept with the gun earn their living by mur- dering law-violating thleves, and one of the most famous of the class was “Fancy Jim Sherwood.” The story went the rounds, and Sherwood ad- mitted the truth of it, that many vears before, his sister was mur- dered by a notorious badman, "30-30" Smith, who escaped after committing the crime. That murder steeled Sherwood’s heart and he devoted his life to fight- ing men of Smith’s class. His only occupation was the rounding up of cattle-thieves, and he took delight in the work because he knew he was in part, avenging the death of his sis- ter. Then comes the call to a sec- tion between the Big and Little Lara- mie where' thievery is rampant and cattlemen feared the safety of them- selves and the cattle. The ringleader was a man named Madden. Sherwood undertakes the gigantic task of remedying matters, and while so doing comes to the realization, through an acquaintance with a girl, that his place in life was not what it should be, Then, when he is fighting to drag fllruself out of the rut into which he had plunged, he realized that the man he is after, although go- ing under the name of Madden, Is none other than Smith, his life-long enemy. Torn between émotions Sherwood fights it out, and what he decides forms the big point of this remark- able tale. While there are grippingly dramatic moments in this play, Fair- banks shows himself as adept at this kind of work as when playing lighter parts, he outdoes himself. On the same program will be the Lyceum Weekly and other good pic- tures. The Lyceum has arranged to include in its weekly at different times, scenes from Camp Devens, where lo- cal boys are training.
